Ingredients needed for a crescent roll breakfast

Ingredient Notes

• Sausages: I used breakfast sausage links, but turkey sausage would also work.
• Crescent dough: Don’t grab the full sheets.
• Milk: heavy cream will also work.
• Cheese– I use pepper jack cheese and cheddar, but you can certainly use your favorite.
• Chives: Green onions will also work.
• Parmesan cheese: Make sure you get the grated parmesan cheese.

How to make this crescent roll recipe

• Step 1: Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and cook sausages until browned, remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Step 2: Heat a nonstick skillet on medium-low heat and add some butter, cook the egg mixture until you have fluffy eggs, and set aside.

• Step 3: Unroll the crescent roll dough into triangles and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Step 4: Add some eggs, sausage, and cheese to each triangle and roll them up.

• Step 5: Brushed reserved egg wash over the tops of crescent rolls.
• Step 6: Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top of each crescent and place them on a prepared baking sheet to bake until golden brown.

Recipe tips

• You can use cooked bacon or even ham instead of sausage links if you prefer.
• Use the precooked breakfast sausage links for a shortcut.
• I use a mixture of pepper jack and cheddar cheese but whatever cheese is your favorite works here.
• Try mixing things up and adding some mushrooms to fresh spinach to the mixture.
